Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's completely understandable. I don't think Day of Silence helps a lot but it kind of spreads awareness. I think it's ironic that the point of the event is to "break the silence" by not speaking. It never made sense to me but I decided to do it anyway. Last year was the first time I'd even heard of the event. And it just worked out nicely for me last year because even though it was a school day, I don't talk much so most people didn't notice that I was completely silent anyway.
I guess the thing that makes me support this is that I hate how homosexuality is frowned upon in a world where people are encouraged to be true to themselves. I wanted to show support, but I didn't know how to do so without shoving my beliefs down someone's throat. Day of Silence seemed like a pretty harmless way for me to show support, but I do understand why it would seem useless.
